Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

Ubuntu Lucid i386

During an apt-get upgrade, I temporarily lost connection to the DNS
server, as shown in the output:

Setting up flashplugin-installer (10.1.102.64ubuntu0.10.04.1) ...

Resolving archive.canonical.com... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `archive.canonical.com'
download failed
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

However, on re-attempting the upgrade it didn't report as needing
upgrading:

dezza@Demetria:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The installer should have reported this failure back to apt so that it
could be re-attempted.

Not sure if this is related to the other installation failure bugs or
not, so feel free to merge if required. i did not report it under
flashplugin-installer as it appears that no-one monitors that.
